These paths have become very popular in parcs. Many people like the slightly bouncy feeling when walking on bark mulch. A short path in your own garden has the advantage that you can walk barefoot on it. This will delight the sensory receptors in your feet even more (provided the mulch is not too spiky).

Additionally, you can take a real barefoot path as inspiration and add pieces with stones and other suitable material. Some DIY warehouses offer instructions and everything you need for your own outdoor barefoot path.
